A second city child has tested as having elevated blood lead levels, according to a report by the New Haven Independent.

The news comes as the other tenants in the 75 Sherman Ave. home are engaged in a legal battle with the landlord who tried to evict them for nonpayment of rent, but they received a temporary stay on their eviction after their 1-year-old child also tested for high levels of lead.

Both children's tests are high enough to require public health intervention.
